His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman

It's a trilogy, if you didn't know. The first one is called Northern Lights, but was renamed The Golden Compass in America. It's a film too, obviously. I loooooove the trilogy.

The books are very good,
I've read them all about 2 or 3 times, however, what they're based on is completely against my beliefs.

hmm...i've heard of the movie, but never saw it. I'll probably rent someday. =P

Good books. i won't go in depht explaining my views on it. But let it be known I am Christan and do not find the books offensive.

same here, kyle.
just like harry potter isn't trying to brainwash kids into doing witchcraft.

I had a huge explanation that I gave to my pastor cause he's incredibly liberal like me on why it isn't offensive.

I agree
